“ Martin is a liar ”

You can bargain with Martin on the price. He asks more than $50, but I found lodging elsewhere for $35, so he matched that price. He sold me a bottle of used water. I don't think that is right that I was drinking after someone else's germs. I was flying standby because my wife works for the airlines. He told me it would be impossible to fly home and told me there was no point going to the airport. All flights were full all week and that I should stay with him. I did have to stay with him for one extra day because flights were full, but I was the only one that didn't get a seat, so I still was close to getting on and he said it was impossible. The next day, I had to walk to the airport. I feel like Martin lied to me to get me to stay longer and only wanted my money. Martin waits near baggage claim and tries to tke people to his hotel. He crossed over to the check in terminal to ask me about my flight and I said there were 4 people not checked in and I could fly if those people did not check in. He told me he was leaving and I would have to walk to his hotel if I did not come now. I do not think this is good customer service because he just wanted me to cme to his hotel instead of flying out which was the best option for me. He should not be pushy. In do not recommend anyone to stay here or meet with Martin. Most of the other locals on the island are really nice. Martin woke up one day walking around the hotel with only pants that had no elastic and he had to hold them up. It was quite gross considering he had no underwear underneath and no t-shirt on also. He is not a pleasant site to look at.... Just in general Martin looks at everyone like they are idiots.

... the Moai stand or used to stand) situated along the coastline all the way to the eastern end, to another volcano caked Poiki. The day started clear but windy, but turned wet and stormy towards the end of our tour, which really didn’t matter as it added to the atmospheric feel of the island, and indeed did give us a giggle at our guide's rather English rain attire. Among the stops we made during the tour were the Vinapu, Akahanga, Tongariki, Poiki quarry area and finally ...

... allow a flood of new immigrants to destroy their identity and culture.

The Rapanui are affirming a cultural right that needs to be confirmed by Chile, a spiritual heritage and patrimony that must be sustained in the face of damaging and immoral public policy by the colonial nation that should understand what it is to suffer under colonial domination. I pray in this holy season that it happens, and for Easter that Easter Island achieves what it seeks, and what it surely ...

... a few swigs of scotch and some chocolate Hannah had hand selected from a confectioners back in town, in our tent over a game of cards. It gets cold at night here, and as Hannah had been getting cold at night in less exposed places we hired her a decent and much warmer sleeping bag whilst I used both of our much thinner ones. Despite being fully clothed, including hat and fleece, and inside the two sleeping bags, I still woke up slightly cold each night! It wasn't dangerously ...

... and continued south eventually finding a nice camping ground just off the beach near a town called Pelluuhue, it was nice falling asleep listening to the waves. We continue to be surprised by how much it reminds us of the south coast of Victoria, with the rugged cliffs, big waves and similar flora

The next morning we packed up camp and took a lovely stroll along the beach and were astounded by how cold the water and wind was but how ridiculously hot the sand was. ...

... Rapa Nui clans would create these likenesses of their ancestors and it was also believed to contain the spiritual essence of the ancestor. The average moais is about 13 feet in height and weighs 14 tons. A moai would be craved and then slid down the mountain before being transported. There are some theories as to how the moais were transported but the common one is the moai "walking". The moai would stand upright attached to ropes where clan ...
